Technically you can. Kill them all. Those who hate and are ignorant, in that specific area, would be dead. Therefore, hatred and ignorance would be stopped.

Another potential way to do it would be to kill everyone who's more than, say, 5 years old. Past that, take all of the children and adopt them into nice homes in relatively affluent areas. Socialization with the more civilized will take over their training and then you'll have pretty well adjusted folks.

I'm not saying that either of these suggestions are easily doable or should be attempted, but the fact is that one can stop all sorts of things via violence. The proper question is should one do so, and that answer depends on the situation.

what_now:SuperT: This is the sort of shiat I would like to see the fury and might of the US armed forces fix.

That...is quite possibly the worst idea I've ever heard.

You've got a group of violent, uneducated twits who think Western values are ruining the world. They have no educational or employment opportunities, and the people running things tell them it's because of the United States.

So...let's kill a bunch of them. The survivors will love us then!

Reagan farked this up. He left Afghanistan in ruins and allowed a generation of boys to grow up as hopeless orphans with absolutely no way of getting out of poverty.

You cannot stop hatred and ignorance through violence.

But you can certainly kill a lot of people. Let's stay with the tour here.
